Traditionelles Weihnachtslied (Spiritual) bzw. Kirchenlied (um ca. 1865)

1. While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens,
There shone a holy light:

Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

2. The shepherds feared and trembled.
When lo! Above the earth.
Rang out the angel chorus.
That hailed our Saviour’s birth.

Go, tell it on the mountain…

3. Down in a lowly manger.
Our humble Christ was born;
and God send us salvation.
That blessed Christmas morn.

Go, tell it on the mountain…

4. When I am a seeker,
I seek both night and day.
I seek the Lord to help me
and he shows me the way.

Go, tell it on the mountain…

5. He made me a watchman
upon the city wall;
And if I am a Christian,
I am the least of all.

Go, tell it on the mountain…
